“Night People, Part Two: The Corrosive Man”

In "Night People, Part Two: The Corrosive Man," a shattered man emerges from the flames with a terrifying new power—burning through anything he touches. As Batman races to stop the escalating chaos, Mitchel, now branded the Corrosive Man, turns his rage toward Kadaver, the man he believes is responsible. Meanwhile, Kadaver's aide Webley moves in the shadows, hunting a nameless hobo named Dalton Walls. Written by John Wagner and Alan Grant, with moody, textured art by Norm Breyfogle and colors by Anthony Tollin, this issue deepens the mystery with a haunting cover by Breyfogle.
